Università Roma Tre

The course aims to provide fundamental skills in architectural representation within the Master's Degree in Architectural Design.
To this end, the student will have to demonstrate the ability to exploit the most appropriate representation techniques for knowledge, first, and the communication, then, of the architecture under study that must be studied and explored and then practically reproduced.
The different techniques of representation will be the basis of theoretical lessons on some of the architects, and their communicative language, to then also study communication and the possible ways of graphic execution.
The student will use all the concepts learned during the lessons, divided by topics, in the reproduction, at maximum expressive capacity, of the assigned exam topic.
The topics covered during the lessons, to ensure a deep knowledge of the architecture will be:
Analog design as an expression of an era. Techniques and graphic models throughout history.
The importance of perspective representation in rationalist competitions.
Analyze the communication of architectural design.
The digital revolution 1.0 and 2.0 and their importance in analysis, knowledge, and three-dimensional spatial processing.
The photographic representation. Techniques and tools. Photographic composition and reportage.
Parametric and mathematical three-dimensional modeling applied to architectural design.
Digital space, control and management of perspective views.
Conceptual renderings and photorealistic renderings. Video making.
Photographic postproduction of rendered images.
Analysis of new technologies for architectural representation, from 3D printing to Virtual Reality.

Located in the first year of the Degree Course in Architectural Design, the course aims to
participate, through the representation of architecture and the environment to the development of
following skills:
• conceive and use representation as a tool for exploration, verification and
communication of the project idea and its realization;
• use the different techniques and the different representation tools depending on the
theoretical and practical reflections on the questions raised by the architecture analyzed.
General issues
1. Analysis and transcription of architectural projects of some architects, through the use of different
representation techniques
2. Communication of the study process of an architectural work, in its analytical phase and of
return.
Specific topics
In order to develop the themes indicated above, the following topics will be addressed:
1. Evolution of the project design from the art of nineteenth century construction to the period
contemporary
2. decompose the architecture. The graphical analysis for the knowledge of the architectural work.
3. The declinations of the design project for architecture: techniques and graphic models in the
poetics of some masters
4.Graphic techniques for the representation of the analysis and project concept
5. Digital design as a form of exploration and verification of spatial configurations
in two-dimensional and three-dimensional areas
6. Perspective control and digital space
7. 3D modeling: practical theoretical concepts for a conscious use of 3d modeling programs
8. Output techniques: static rendering
9. Output techniques: dynamic rendering
10. On the design of contemporary architects and in particular the study of the graphic production of the ABDR studio in Rome
The themes will be carried out through the analysis and re-design of unrealized architectural projects
of the ABDR study
Work phases / methods
We will proceed to a first graphic analysis by hand (plastic drawings and models) to understand
compositional logic, constituent elements and hypothesized spatial configurations. Then, a 3D digital model and we will proceed with the elaboration of images and animations to display the information gathered. The last phase will be dedicated to communication with video processing.

The material will be indicated by the teacher during the lessons.
